EU Plans To End Mobile Roaming Charges In 2014

Great news, European iPhone owners. Starting in 2014, roaming charges for voice calls, text messages, and cellular data access will end for members of the European Union's 27 member countries looking to travel within Europe. Specifically, it is hoped that such roaming charges will be abolished on July 1, 2014, so be sure to plan any forthcoming vacations accordingly!
The Telegraph explains:

Roaming fees for voice calls, texts and internet access will effectively be completely scrapped under the proposals, which are part of a broader effort to create a single European telecoms market. The group of 27 European Commissioners voted in Brussels on Tuesday to drive the package through in time for the European elections in May next year, to come into force as soon as 1 July 2014.
